Hill Farmstead Brewery

Spoken of in hushed tones in darkened rooms by consummate beer geeks, Hill Farmstead has only been in operation since 2010 but is already established as a premier beer destination. It's located in rural Greensboro, Vermont, and your best chance of getting its beers are showing up at the brewery. As per its Reddit AMA, it's expanding carefully, so it may not be too long until you will see its beer further afield.

My only experience with Hill Farmstead was during a late-night bottle-sharing session where I got a little sip of its Edward American Pale Ale. That was certainly enough for me to decide to make the trip to Vermont as soon as possible.
